The Hijras of Ajmer

near the bulund darwaza
in the heart of moti katla square
a hijra paradise human souls
peace hope harmony spirituality
togetherness with the Khwajah
come to share ..
the Holy Saint the patron of the hijras
the Urus the greatest spiritual fair
their pain , their sufferings
their sorrow their despair
at the tomb of the Khwajah
they weep and bare
dancing on the hot marble bare feet
they hold mortality in a snare
babita the queen of najafgarh
exotic beauty rare
mona the eunuch child
little boys clothes loves to wear
gopal haji the nayak of the hijras
sitting close by on a chair
laxmi narayan tripathi
from mumbai my hijra guru
with her chelas will also be there
shooting them marc de clercq
who has ample time to spare
I will join them too tomorrow
the mystic of mumbai
bald headed no footwear
basanti the gypsy hijra
with the screaming
malang zubair
zeenat the siddhi hijra
your heart from your body
she will tear
the hijra bawas of char yaar
chanting mantras in open air
naughty mona from mumbai
simran heena salma
please beware
hijra damsels pursued
by fat filthy rich millionaires
madhurima ma from park site
baby hijra guru make a lovely pair
the cross dressers missing
as they walk the gay parade in Delhi
devil may care cursing Article 377
the criminal sodomy law
a hate filled anti human
a heritage of the Brirish Vampire
but our new government is not aware



hujra no 6
peersaab fakhru miya
my host his head bowed in prayer
the rafaees with shahenshah baba
the new head of the chancawallias
selected as handi sai's heir
the malangs of char yaar
siiting on the graves everywhere
chiillum smoke ganja fragrance in the air
in two days I will shoot an eternity
ajmer my crazy love affair
a 16 GB card pulling pictures
out of thin air
I will miss cousin Glenn Losack
this time as he wont be there
the chatti of the Holy Saint
qawwalis all night long
kaif trance dancing in the air
Peace the greatest instrument
the heart and soul
of a Sufi doctrinaire
